They should be banned from the stadium. Disgraceful.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

I'm wearing a pair now.

 

[equaliser]

I've got three pairs of skinny flares, including some pink ones, (bought in the last year or two) and I'm 58. It's a great look for me cos I'm tall and reasonably slim. I'm still waiting for the trend to break through in Northamptonshire though - and was beginning to lose hope that it would.

Everything comes around - the last time flares were trendy was in the early 2000s, though not skinny ones. I'm still waiting (after decades!) for short shorts to make a return because my skinny girl's legs look terrible in baggy long ones

Can we have a bit more definition? We talking 70s or late 80s Madchester baggies?

Pink flares

 

[JackG]

Would this include the return of loons?

 

[h_m_boro]

Pink flares?

Christ it's bad enough the numbskulls booing taking the knee, but if someone set off a pink flare.......

New splinter group "The Pink Faction"?

 

[red_harrington]

When I grew up in the 80s just 1 inch of 'flare' would result in taunts of 'flare are you going in those?'

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

What about bell bottoms?

 

[Muttley]

Would this include the return of loons?

They will be compulsory, as will listening to King Crimson and/or Soft Machine.

Good pub sadly missed.

 

[Frozen Horse]

I wear them.
I know they present a danger to all those around me, but I don't care because that's the kind of antisocial jerk I am.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

I've put yes a used to have flared jeans when I was 15/16. I made them into a crap version of what Ronnie James Dio had

 

[JonnyHistory]

Used to work for a 70s stage show and wore many a pair of flares. Comfy things, looking forward to them being back in vogue

 

[the_dormouse]

Got my first pair from Nat Nimans in about 69,blue wore them to go St James disco on Crescent Road.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I wonder what the age difference is between those that said yes and those that said no.

 

[Coluka]

I would not wear them.

However, if I could get my hands on a pair of Oxford Bags then I’d be in

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

It's ok I brought flares back several years ago. Probably hasn't reached the north yet. Some people follow trends. I set them.
